SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#GRVY–Gravity Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRVY), a global game company, officially launched its new 3D MMORPG, “Ragnarok V: Returns”, in the Oceanic region on May 25 (local time). The game was released on iOS, Android and PC, with cross-play functionality.

After the second CBT, which was held in April targeting users in the Oceanic region, the participating users expressed satisfaction with the game. The users also gave their expectations for the game’s launch by commenting, “It felt like playing ‘Ragnarok Online’ because I could play the game on PC”, and “I like that the balance seems to have been improved from that in the first CBT.”

The mobile version can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The PC version can be downloaded from the Ragnarok V: Returns official website and the Steam store.

The first event will provide special buffs to users such as the base experience buff and the job experience buff, among others, to support fast character growth. Various other benefits will be available through an alphabet collection event, level completion event, special push reward event, and a coupon event. Users will also be able to win a small and adorable kangaroo pet that has a mobility function.

A Gravity official said, “We further upgraded the game’s quality by adding users’ opinions on game improvement from the two CBTs. We will continue updating the game with new content and holding events to provide our users with great enjoyment. We would like to ask for all of our users’ interest and support.”
